Professor Gibala's research examines the regulation of skeletal muscle energy provision and he is particularly interested in the potential for exercise and/or nutrition to induce metabolic adaptations at the molecular and cellular levels in humans. In addition to basic, mechanistic studies, he also conducts applied research that examines the impact of exercise training and dietary manipulation on sport performance. Recently the work in his laboratory has focused on two main areas: (1) Metabolic adaptations to low-volume, high-intensity interval training, with an emphasis on the regulation of oxidative energy provision. (2) The potential for alterations in nutrient availability to impact the acute or chronic adaptations to exercise training.
